Very nice CS, don't think the fish will find anything wrong with them. ;D
You could go the next stage now and do some step by steps ;D

cocksparra, There is some ambiguity in your question whether you are soliciting comments on the flies or the images? As far as I can tell from the small size images you have the proportions part down pat. Very nice tying overall. If I want to be picky I would say that some of heads could do with a bit more attention. Personally I would like the heads a little smaller, and one or two, most notably the AMH Heather Fly, still have some stubs showing. If the question was on the images, then there are still a few improvements to be made. Here is a sample image which I took yesterday of a fly submitted by Alice Conba from Ireland. Proper lighting makes or breaks an image, can make it look flat or can make it leap from the screen. Cheers, Hans W

Flytier - how did you take your image - what camera, what lighting? None of my attempts so far look as good as yours...

Yes Bear, is a Gorgeous George. I somehow managed to overlook naming it in my post. Thanks ;-)
Cheers, Hans
